About fiancee visa in Norway

Hi tam24, when did you apply ?  I really hope you get a positive answer.

Hi Tatta2015, I applied Sept 2014...thanks!

hei how are all of you

we called UDI today a funny thing that is pissing my husband off is the response we got from a case worker, when we asked for the status of our application this time they said 12 months.

It is quite inconsistent last time it was 9 then 10 then 14 and now 12, so he asked what are the odds that the number of waiting months they give to us would somehow be a guarantee of the release date and the response was

"Well couldn't really say coz we release the result based on the date you applied" this is the very standard answer they give.

so my husband asked if they have record of where or at what stage our application is since UDI received our application last year JULY 1 and the response was remotely similar

" we can't say exactly since we take per case based on statistics"


And as always    my husband would just end the inquiry as the conversation was definitely going nowhere. So that was my update with my application, I guess more waiting. I am just glad that we are together    while waiting so the stress is less because I applied from tourist to family reuni here in norway.

How about you guys who also applied the during the same time as me april-july 2015 applicants how has are your applications going?

Oh my God, is frustrating to hear those answer but we only can wait and wait.   
I have applied July-2014, but It seems to me I've waited thousands years.

my correction to my post haha applicants of April-July 2014 haha


exactly so if they would follow that 12 months that they say we will receive our result in July hahaha this quite a test of our patience

Hei all,

I am reading all of what you said, and I want to thank you all for sharing your stories.

I am in the USA and beginning to research the visa process to be with my boyfriend.  We have discussed getting engaged soon, and I just wonder - are all of you that say you've been waiting for 10/12/14 months...are you currently IN Norway waiting with your significant others, or are you waiting in your country of origin?  If you are in separate countries waiting, are you able to still visit one another while your application is being processed?

Another question (sorry, I'm new to this!) - If you're waiting together in Norway, are you able to leave the country at all, say to visit family, or are you legally not allowed to leave?

Mange takk for any help provided!!

Hi Everyone
I've applied the fiance permit in this April and my boyfriend called UDI today to check the current status...they stated that they've got over 15000 applications on hand and would be giving priorities to those refugee, student visas....so let's see how long shall I wait for my permit.

someone who is a citizen of an EEA country can be a reference person too. I recommend you try this website for more tailored, specific information:

hi clupe212, i worked for 2 yrs here in Norway and 2 months before my visa expires, me and my fiance decided to get engaged.. when we delivered all the documents, the police get the copy of my diploma and school records

they say that I can stay in Norway while waiting but I cant get out of the country (dont leave Norway)..now im on my 8th month of waiting and havent still get answer..

The last time on UDI site for fiance visa was 9 mos of waiting soI hope they got my case next month..

I think, your fiance must talk to police or call UDI for more info...

Thank you so much hag.lad! I hope so much that your visa is approved soon.

Hi everyone i just wanna ask something regarding the fiancee visa...i just want to know  to whom who been applying a fiancee visa yet please give some good information...i just wanna know if did you ask a stamp for the norwegian embassy in the Philippines when you are applying for the fiance visa here?or it okay that its only the red ribbon came from dfa..please give me more information regarding this thanks

hi, it should be stamp in Norwegian embassy both the birth certificate and cenomar.

Hi thank you...but did you do the same about the stamp?where you been applying for the fiance in the Philippines or you are already here in norway the time you apply a fiance visa...cause i know somebody that they said that they dont need a stamp for the norwegian embassy in manila...im just curious to know more about this...thanks

I was applying in Manila February 2014, they need for stamp for norwegian embassy. You may call the embassy to be sure might the change rules.

hi all  !  a question if you can answer ...  I applied in October for the fiance permit in Udi ( Norway ) but from my home country ... got monthly updates ... and after 8 months they sent me an email that they have forwarded my application to the police for residence permit ..

in some cases they can call for an interview..  and it might take some time ..

Is is a positive progress towards my case ? as I and my fiance are waiting to be with each other impatiently.

and if they ask for an interview where they can call me ? the embassy in my home country ?  they will be locals or Norwegians ?

regards

Hi everyone,

Hi @abimk,

I applied here in the Philippines.

Thank you @addis1 @tatta2015 @methyl @abimk...just keep on praying!

thank you tam and tata i hope everyone gets their results soon too

I think the Norway government is trying very hard to reduce immigration into Norway that are not "skilled worker".  This in returns means they purposely take a MUCH LONGER time to process your application if you are not applying for "skilled worker permit".  Skilled worker permit generally only takes 2 weeks to process and approve.  That is how ridiculous it is.

But im here in norway now maybe i dont need to ask a stamp for the norwegian embassy in manila because im already here in norway working as an au pair..andnum here for almost 2years....hope you can help to find what is the best thing to do....thanks...cause im really confusing about the stamp because i have a lot of friends who get engage and they said they never askna stamp..thats the reason why i keep on asking regarding this...sorry to ask about this.. hope you can help me.. best regards methyl

If you are already in Norway, why don't you just call UDI and ask?

hi  all ! A question ...  its our 8th month ...  and we got an email from police abt the interview and udi mentioned that police will call me  or my fiance for the interview ...   my fiance got the call within 2 weeks...    thst quicker than we thought ..  just wondering if I will be called in for an interview ? as we both are in different countries at the moment ..
He is in Norway and I am in my home country Pakistan ..

Hi everyone!

Is PDOS really required? Im asking this because My friend didnt take PDOS before she left for Sweden. She is a wife of a Norwegian.

hi,
I have taken the guidance counselling seminar, I think that is PDOS from Commission on Flipino Overseas (CFO) and given a certifcate afterwards.  I believe that necessary the immigration might ask that.

Hi sol thank you for your response. I'm scheduled for the seminar tomorrow and yes that's the CFO. I was just wondering why some fiances/spouses are allowed by immigration to leave without the certificate or exit clearance.

Thanks again...
